hello from the bbc sport centre. the parties probably still going in las vegas. it's the biggest match in american sport, and this year's super bowl was even bigger as more than 100 million are thought to have watched the kansas city chiefs beat the san francisco 49ers in overtime to win their third super bowl in five years. a last—gasp field goal by the chiefs made it 19—19 to send the game into overtime, and — although the 49ers edged back in front — patrick mahomes�* touchdown pass to mecole hardman to make it 25—22 to defending champions kansas city, who cemented their status as the first nfl dynasty since the new england patriots. the night was made even bigger by the prescence of taylor swift.

the singer was supporting her boyfriend travis kelce — the chiefs tight end. swift has brought new fans to the nfl, especially women and girls. and the celebrations continued on the field and in the locker room, and our correspondent nesta mcgregor was right in the heart of the celebrations in las vegas. this doesn't feel any different? what this team went through, this is how much fun we had coming into the building, you can see how we are enjoying this one right now, how much fun we had.— enjoying this one right now, how much fun we had. final question, how will ou much fun we had. final question, how will you and — much fun we had. final question, how will you and your _ much fun we had. final question, how will you and your lovely _ much fun we had. final question, how will you and your lovely pop _ much fun we had. final question, how will you and your lovely pop star - will you and your lovely pop star girlfriend be celebrating? flick will you and your lovely pop star girlfriend be celebrating? pick for bi est girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel _ girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel at _ girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel at the _ girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel at the red - girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel at the red carpet, l girlfriend be celebrating? pick for biggest morel at the red carpet, i will be elvis for a night! —— pretty sure vegas will roll out the red carpet. the world of athletics is reeling following the sad news that —

kelvin kiptum, the marathon record holder — has been killed in a car accident. the 2a —year—old kenyan is said to have been with his coach, who also died in the crash, on a road in a high altitude region of western kenya, where there is a training base for long distance runners. it comes just five days after the world governing body — world athletics — ratified kiptum's record time from his win at the chicago marathon last october. he smashed the world record by more than half a minute, running it in a time of 2 hours and 35 seconds. he also won the london marathon last year. his past marathon, he won it in two hours one minute and 35 seconds and regulator he had broken the world record, running into hours and 35 seconds. breaking a world record takes years of practice, years of build—up. someone like him, took on more than a decade just to break the marathon world record, starting from the track and then coming into the road, so it tells you how talented and how special he was.

now it's been an arduous journey for ivory coast, filled with drama — and for match winner sebastien haller, one he thought he may not be a part of. a year after recovering from testicular cancer, the former west ham striker scored the winner against nigeria in the final of the africa cup of nations, to become a national hero. all the more miraculous when you consider ivory coast onlyjust scraped into the knockouts and sacked their manager mid tournament. i feel on the clouds, you know? it is kind of a dream today. yeah, it is difficult to put a word on this moment, on this feeling, because this is something ijust dreamed about, and today... yeah, it is here. i was crying because i was just thinking about all the effort we had to do to come at this moment. i think we deserve it.

of the week for most in terms of sunshine amounts. from midweek onwards it's set to turn a lot wetter. it will be unsettled, atlantic system sweeping in from the west with some very mild air. so temperatures marked in blue at the moment, close to the seasonal average. then we get those south westerlies drawing in that very mild air. temperatures are set to rise, particularly on wednesday and thursday. back to today, and you can see this little feature across western scotland, running west to east, bringing increased amounts of showers as we head through the rest of the afternoon. some of the showers wintry, particularly over the tops of the hills, some showers, too, for northern ireland, perhaps for north west england. but elsewhere it is dry, there'll be some more sunny spells around just the cloud amounts increasing towards the south west of england by the end of the day. temperatures more or less now where they should be for this time of year. but still some wintry showers across parts of scotland as we head through tonight. there'll be more cloud spreading in from the southwest, some clearer spells here and there. temperatures a little higher across most of southern england,
2:57 pm
but still a touch of frost from northern england northwards. now, as we head through tuesday, this area of low pressure is going to be pushing in from the southwest and that's going to change our weather, dragging in that mild feeling air. but the cloud amounts will increase, the winds are set to pick up south—westerly and there'll be outbreaks of rain, possibly some heavier downpours at times. but really from southern scotland northwards, we are expecting a largely dry day. there'll be some sunshine here, just watch out for a few more wintry showers over the tops of the hills. still colder air hanging on across parts of northern scotland where it's staying quite windy but turning milder towards the south. and these areas of low pressure just set to send more fronts spinning in as we head through wednesday. so wednesday, a windier day, the westerly winds picking up again. there will be more outbreaks of rain just moving across parts of scotland, perhaps turning to snow again where it meets that colder feeling air, a slice of sunshine perhaps across central areas and temperatures starting to rise. bye— bye.
